    Jorge Linares with a chin would be very similar to Amir Khan with chin in my opinion. Tons of speed and sharp skills with a good pop and godly chin, yeah... game over.

    I was thinking, what would Margarito have been without his God like chin? I think he wouldnt of have lasted as long as he did. Cotto would have destroyed him on their first encounter.

    Or Manny Pacquiao without his fancy footwork, how far would he have really made it? His hand speed and chin still present as well as his stinging power but no foot movement would have made Rios vs Pacquiao a real brutal fight.

        People that say Kahn is a great boxer, with excellent skills, speed, good all around ability, but just lacking a chin are missing some major league flaws of his.

        The point is that he doesn't have good boxing skills. He leaps in, has terrible defense, is often very off balance with his footwork, drops his hands and stays in punching range after throwing a combination without thought of what's coming back.

        It's actually his poor skills that get him in trouble more than his chin in my opinion. He's got a decent offensive arsenal in general, a nice jab, excellent speed and size, but he's very lacking in nearly all other areas of boxing technique and skill.

        Not that his chin helps!

              Manny pacquiao- defense I'm saying he has none but if it was a little sharper like say the rios fight on the regular.

              Khan- chin, stamina he gasses by about the 6-7 round and having the crap chin that he does that's not good he needs to learn to pace him self more instead of trying to blast guys outta there we'll **** now that I think about it there's a lot khan needs to improve

              Broner - footwork he has none head movement he doesn't have that either.

              Bradley- power

                Bradley with power would simply be scary. He was good enough to manage to land significant shots on Pacquiao in the earlier phase of their 2nd fight, imagine if he had one punch KO power behind those shots! The crazy thing about Bradley is the fact that he actually likes to brawl and easily gets dragged to deep waters due to his heart and aggression, sadly his power isn't up to par with his testosterone overload style.

                  Excellent point. His boxing skills are overrated. He does have many good to great physical attributes though; that's why he's a very frustrating fighter to watch. With all the physical tools and advantages he has, he should be dominating.

                    wladimir doesn't need to fight inside. he clinches.


                    he'd be the perfect modern HW if he didn't have the chin of a nine year old boy.
